Question? Who is the gearbox manufacturer? Im looking at an ls set up and am looking at several options (stinger and autopsru being the top two contenders) one set up i saw using SDS engine management systems had a double computer set up. Each one ran 4 cylinders. In the event one failed, the engone would still run on 4.

Any landing you walk away from is a sucessful landing. Good job dealing with the situation.

Dude take a selfie at 5.15.

I would put try puting some jelly beans on a tin plate sitting on the dash. If they start dancing around then there's some resonant vibrations being transmitted through the flight controls, which cound indicate eminent flutter.

It’s like a reality TV show for aviation geeks, but without the hype and fabricated drama. I loved every minute, I was sorry it ended so soon. Thank you for taking the time to produce these.

nice plane. enjoy!

Eargasm and beautiful beast! Also great example of Crow instability. Nice shot!

Total aerodynamics noob here, and I know this is random, but the mention of “deep stall” got me reading. Is anyone aware of work looking at the use of a reverse pitch prop in a pusher like this for recovery from a deep stall scenario? Is it a plausible approach?

Brother where’s my debriefings?! We miss your content dood!

do you wear a parachute when you fly ?

Great job landing !! And I'm shocked how well the plane held up owner need to look into putting a manual lock on gear

Beautiful Aircraft.

Explain again why you did not declare an Emergency? And why its an issue? You were considering bailing out but you don't think it was an emergency? I get that you attract attention but you simply only reply to those that need the communication and keep working the problem. Btw... that aircraft was built like shit. Or the storage period was done with no preparation for long term storage. Either way this aircraft needs to be treated like a major asset and not nickel and dimed. I mean a header tank that gives you 10 seconds to avoid a flame out without an automatic transfer system.....who built this!

Again a thorough briefing. Question, was the aircraft salvageable

You guys are amazing.

That breaks my heart to watch that accident. i’m a pilot myself with a flight instructor and airline background commanding Boeing 737 and Airbus A 320s and more recently , classrooms and simulator training . It’s always been my wish to retire and build and fly a T51 for myself. First of all I would like to express my appreciation to the professionalism of this test pilot. Secondly, it seems clear that the addition of the LS3 engine severely upsets the weight and balance of the aircraft , being with so much heavier than the original Rotax engine or the Suzuki V6. Regarding the issues surrounding the undercarriage. I hope they get re-addressed by Titan. I wonder what other people think about the feasibility of owning one of these experiment craft after watching this.

The rear two exhaust pipes are fake. LOL

I believe the hydraulic pump on this plane is the same type as used on boats to trim the sterndrive. Those pumps pull a lot of amps but they are notoriously reliable. Cheers ... safe flights !

I hope all is well. I enjoy your videos.

OK 4 bladed right hand turning prop means an American engine....PW R2800????

I took a photo of you at the hold line when i drove into the airport and watched your takeoff. Went to my hangar and when I left you were being attended to in the infield. I was not aware of this video until yesterday. As I'm writing this, the 51 is sitting in front of me in the EAA hangar. I believe Jim is letting it go.

Have you stopped posting?

How about keeping the gear down for the first flight???

Our test team the Air Force would disintegrate you

From a test pilot, Check everyone flight control bolt and exit strategy before even starting the engine.

It sounds like you need some experience your side

Inverted spins were always uncomfortable for me

Great video, thank you for making it with such detail, and great flying!

What a rather harrowing experience, glad you pulled through it 👍

what are you breathing through the mask?

could you imagine being 10k feet in the air and trusting your life to a Chevy! I would rather have a harbor freight engine! lol

Declare the emergency. Reduce your chance of dying. You have kids

If I was considering building another homebuilt this model just has way too many problems. From all your videos it would seem so.

This is the second such video I have seen on the channel where an incident took place. I can already see a theme forming where a mishap was narrowly avoided by some excellent piloting skills. Thanks for posting another really interesting video.

Great job on protecting the good people who live around the airfield. Some excellent and timely decisions that ultimately reduced the incident to a mishap and not a disaster. The lack of redundancy was your undoing, in the end. To me as a non aircraftsman (but 40 years of preparing race cars, latterly to international level.) that to have one single system relying on a "fuse" and not an MCB, to fire the engine seems odd. It, to me at least, indicates a need to look for additional safety in that area.

Do you still need you pilot license to fly those even though they are not full scale?

Not sure why you are wearing a helmet with mask vs. boom. Do you have onboard oxygen? Great videos by the way!

It's like racing building it and tinkering with it and the crew knowing what to do

Just happened to catch this clip glad everything went well the non conventional landing well done and again walked away cool calm and collective

Superb job of narrating and filming and just taking the time to put this interesting story into video. It sounds like some of the systems within the aircraft would benefit from a degree of redundancy and/or perhaps a redesign/re-think? The ongoing gear box issues would make me question the overall reliability of the unit perhaps? Either way - great job - in calmly articulating the entire episode - quite a contribution - & a huge qudos to Bret for his help & analysis . That man deserves a few Beers at the very least! Glad you're safe and the lovely machine is intact. I'm looking forward to see it flying again. Either by you or the happy owner, or perhaps both! :-) (Edit: -just noticed the video is 2 years old. Hope it all worked out guys!)

There seems to be something missing from the Beech 55 Baron, that appears to be a bit more than just modified.😮

Que alegria la tuya tener semejante juguete

Hey Elliot, just wanted to pop in to say happy holidays and I miss your videos. Hope everything (airplanes and otherwise) is going well for your family.

I had heard that the T-18 had an aggressive stall, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. Is that a W&B dependent thing then?

The plane was uncontrollable... Why just not shut off both engines ? Can't tell me that plane is uncontrollable when both engines are cut off. Plenty of room a head. Lot of bla bla but just a bad decision

Amp load?

It's just not the same without the Merlin.

Song name? all of them I looked for have vocals. I need the one without vocals

Kudos for walking away from a paying job, even knowing it was going to upset the customer. This is the epitome of professionalism. As it later turned out, this aircraft was never going to be safe to fly and was abandoned.

I notice you wear an oxygen mask but I can't figure out where it is hooked to any oxygen container. I am wondring if it is a small unit that has to be refilled every few hours carried on your person or is there a system on the airplane. Thanks
